Musings from domesticity, creativity and motherhood.

A short interlude

Reading a post from Molly the other day, reminded me that last summer, I declared that I should have taken a little break away from the blog. It's not something I've really done before - yes, there have been episodes where the posting has been more sporadic, but in general, over the last four years I've been around and about, because the thought of stepping away totally for a while unnerved me.

But as I would say to my boys, faced with the same feelings, - it is the things that scare you a little that are the most rewarding to do.

The timing seems right - the boys finish school in an hour or two and we have a lot of summer stuff to be getting on with. So why does it bother me? After all, just because you draw the curtains, doesn't mean that life ceases to continue inside the house.

Enjoy your break Ali. I am supposed to be on a break too but just keep returning! My comments fall right down during the summer months and I sometimes wonder if anyone is reading at all!!! I love the photo above with the geraniums. My geraniums this year are a rather wishy washy pink!

It's good to take a break now and then and summer is the perfect time - it's much better to be out and about doing things. Looking forward to hearing all about your summer adventures when the children go back to school - have fun, J x
